Technical feasibility of salvage full thickness resection after chemoradiation for locally advanced rectal adenocarcinoma
Authors: C. Snauwaert, J. Van Huysse
Journal: Endoscopy (2023)

Abstract Text There is an emerging role for "organ preserving strategies", i.e. non-surgical management after chemoradiotherapy (CRT) for locally advanced rectal cancer. Performing endoscopic resection for residual lesions after CRT can be challenging due to extensive fibrosis/scarring in the muscularis mucosae and submucosal layers. Endoscopic full thickness resection (EFTR) may offer an effective therapeutic tool for resection of residual lesions after CRT with the potential to avoid (major) surgery. In this video case report we demonstrate that salvage EFTR after CRT for locally advanced rectal cancer is technically feasible and safe [1].

Journal: Endoscopy (2023)

Aims Endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) is a safe and effective procedure for class 1 and 2 obese subjects. The effects of smoking habits on weight are well known regarding bariatric surgery. Understanding the effects of tobacco use on post-operative weight loss in bariatric endoscopy is essential to guiding clinicians in counselling patients in this field.

Authors: G. Rizzatti, G. De Nucci, F. Caillol, S. F. Crinò, K.D. C. Pham, L. Palazzo, G. Tripodi, A. Gasbarrini, C. Spada, A. Larghi, B. Napoleon
Journal: Endoscopy (2023)

Aims Endoscopic ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation (EUS-RFA) has been proposed as a minimally invasive treatment alternatively to surgery for both functional (F-) and non-functional (NF-) pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (PNENs). Evaluation of EUS-RFA performance in PNENs is limited to case reports and small case series, while data from prospective, multicentre studies are lacking [1] [2] [3]. We performed a prospective multicentre study to evaluate safety and effectiveness of EUS-RFA in patients with F- and NF-PNENs.

Authors: D. de Frutos, J. Santiago Garcia, F. Valentin Gomez, C. González-Lois, E. Santos Perez, E. Iglesias García, A. Sánchez Movilla, D. Melero Montes, A. Herreros De Tejada
Journal: Endoscopy (2023)

Abstract Text Case 1: 81-year-old woman. Appendectomy. 40 mm LST-GM lesion involving appendiceal orifice. Case 2: 52-year-old man. 20 mm 0-Is lesion over invaginated appendix. Colorectal laparoscopic and endoscopic cooperative surgery procedure (LECS-CR) step by step. First, surgical release of the cecum from retroperitoneum. Target lesion is identified using colonoscope, while guiding surgeons to complete a limited cecal sleeve resection using electric endo-stappler. Last, water-tightness of the surgical suture and adequate pass to distal ileum is verified using the colonoscope. Final histology: Case 1: 40 mm tubulovillous adenoma with high-grade dysplasia, R0; Case 2: 18 mm tubulovillous adenoma with low-grade dysplasia, R0
Left colonic localization, non-granular morphology, and pit pattern independently predict submucosal fibrosis of colorectal neoplasms before endoscopic submucosal dissection
Authors: P. Cecinato, A. Lisotti, F. Azzolini, M. Lucarini, F. Bassi, P. Fusaroli, R. Sassatelli
Journal: Endoscopy (2023)

Aims Considering colorectal neoplasms, the presence and degree of submucosal fibrosis increases ESD duration and technical complexity reduces the rate of curative resection and reduces safety profile. The aim of the study was to identify pre-procedural predictive factors of submucosal fibrosis and to assess the impact of fibrosis on ESD outcomes ESD [1] [2].
Efficacy and Safety of Digital Single-Operator Cholangioscopy Guided Laser Lithotripsy for Impacted Retained Cystic duct stones – A Single Tertiary Care Centre Experience
Authors: R. Chavan, C. Gandhi, V. Bachkaniwala, S. Rajput
Journal: Endoscopy (2023)

Aims Cholangioscopy have expanded the horizons of pancreatico-biliary evaluation. Cholangioscopy guided laser lithotripsy have been reported to be safe and effective for difficult bile duct stones. Cystic duct stone (CDS) are technically challenging for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), so usually managed by surgery. We aimed to see efficacy and safety of cholangioscopy guided laser lithotripsy for cystic duct stones.

Submucosal Tunneling Endoscopic Resection for Rectal GIST
Authors: G. Mavrogenis, E. Mavromatis
Journal: Endoscopy (2023)

Abstract Text This video illustrates the resection of a rectal GIST by means of endoscopic tunnelling. A 60-year-old male was referred for resection of a rectal subepithelial tumor originating from the muscle layer. The procedure was undertaken under propofol sedation. A small horizontal anal incision was made, a pocket was created and the rectal tumor was enucleated and removed. The anal incision was closed and the patient was hospitalized for 1 night. Histology showed a 3 cm GIST. The patient had an uneventful recovery.

Redo Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (Re-ESG): the experience of a tertiary center
Authors: M. V. Matteo, V. Bove, V. Pontecorvi, M. De Siena, G. Giannetti, G. Polidori, L. Vinti, N. Antonini, C. Massari, G. Palumbo, G. Costamagna, C. Spada, I. Boskoski, G. Carlino
Journal: Endoscopy (2023)

Aims Obesity is a chronic relapsing disease. As such, a “one and done” strategy may not lead to satisfying results in the long term for both surgical and endoscopic procedures. Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG) is an effective, safe, and repeatable bariatric procedure. As loss of satiety with weight regain or insufficient weight loss may occur after a primary ESG (p-ESG), re-ESG may play a role in such patients to improve weight loss. In this case series, we evaluate the short and medium-term outcomes of the re-ESG.
Endoscopic Intermuscular Dissection (EID) For Removal Of Early Rectal Cancers And Benign Fibrotic Rectal Lesions
Authors: G. Tribonias, N. Leontidis, M. Palatianou, G. Bellou, G. Penesis, E. Zacharopoulou, I. Internos, G. Anagnostopoulos, G. Paspatis, V. Vamvakousis, M. Tzouvala
Journal: Endoscopy (2023)

Abstract Text Several reports support the use of endoscopic intermuscular dissection (EID) instead of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for the removal of deeply invasive rectal submucosal cancers. The resection plane into the intermuscular space, the space between the longitudinal (external) and circular (internal) muscle layer, provides a radical removal for rectal invasive cancers. Furthermore, the technique offers the potential for dissection of scarred and severe fibrotic lesions in the rectum by cutting deeper and perform a partial myectomy avoiding the narrow submucosal space. We would like to present our case series with 10 EIDs both for deeply invasive rectal cancers and benign rectal lesions.
A Novel CADx Algorithm for Characterisation and Sizing of Colorectal Polyps Meets PIVI 1 and PIVI 2 Threshold in Both Video-Based and Real-Time Assessment
Authors: K. Siggens, H. Htet, A. Marugame, H. Saiga, J. Hamson, A. Al-Kandari, A. Repici, M. Abdelrahim, P. Bhandari
Journal: Endoscopy (2023)

Aims There is increasing evidence for the use of 'resect and discard' for colorectal polyps but it has not been widely adopted due to the challenges of accurate optical diagnosis and sizing of polyps. Computer aided diagnosis (CADx) has promising potential for improving this but there is still no data on real-time sizing and characterisation together.

Authors: Y. van de Pavert, M. Pheifer, L.M. G. Moons, N. G. Venneman, R. P. Voermans, L J van Wanrooij, T. De Wijkerslooth, F. Vleggaar
Journal: Endoscopy (2023)

Aims It is currently unclear whether tumor etiology affects clinical and procedural outcomes after endoscopic ultrasonography-guided gastroenterostomy (EUS-GE) in patients with malignant gastric outlet obstruction (GOO). We therefore compared outcomes of EUS-GE for GOO originating from gastric cancer (g-GOO) to other tumor etiologies (o-GOO).

Authors: M. De Siena, F. Barbaro, I. Boskoski, V. Pontecorvi, M. V. Matteo, G. Costamagna, C. Spada, B. Vincenzo
Journal: Endoscopy (2023)

Abstract Text A 54 year-old woman underwent endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for a 3 cm Laterally Spreading Tumor (LTS) of the mid-proximal rectum. Due to atrial fibrillation and mechanical valve prosthesis, anticoagulant therapy has been resumed after the procedure. The ESD was complicated by several bleeding episodes. The patient underwent attempts at endoscopic hemostasis by electrical, mechanical, fibrin glue injection and hemostatic powder spray (Haemospray) without success. We proceeded to suture the eschar with the Apollo Overstich system achieving an immediate bleeding control. The Overstich has been shown to be effective in the treatment of ESD complications after other hemostasis methods failure
